It would be nice to see where we are going to be next year..
Will be gutting to loose these two..

I hope there is some form of an announcement soon as to what is going on
As yesterday's showing was nothing short of depressing...

Re: Ryan & Bentley : Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:47 am  

To be honest, i won't be as gutted losing Bentley and Ryan as i don't expect to keep them in L1. Both are so much better than L1 players and i would rather they moved on and have successful careers they deserve. For me we need to try and do a Toulouse. Get a young squad, enhanced with senior players, gel in L1, hopefully get promoted and add or two quality additions that will improve the squad. Try get some continuity. and try building by keeping the nucleus of the team and keep adding.

Bentley rumoured to be off to Saints.

Good luck to him if he's going.

Yep, second that, he's been a good solid player for us, and I genuinely wish him all the best wherever his future takes him

Re: Ryan & Bentley : Tue Aug 01, 2017 8:51 am  

Thought he was superb against Sunday. Had the heart of the lion. If some of our other players had his heart and mental toughness and the never give in attitude just instead of feeling sorry for ourselves because something goes against you, i think we would have had a few more wins this season. Will go on to better things. But there's more promising juniors coming through. We go again.

As much as you don't want to lose them, you can't ever wish anything but good things on someone moving on who has given their all for Bradford. And James Bentley has clearly done that in every game I've seen him play this year.

Although I won't pretend part of me doesn't hope he doesn't get in the first team yet and comes back to Bradford on loan!

but Good luck to the young lad.
I can see him playing at international level in a few years time

It's soul destroying to see these acamdey lads leave for nothing.

All the best James. Super League is where you belong.

Shame there's not some compensation package in place. Presuming the £15k clubs received when another club sigined one of their U21 no longer exists?
